This Amendment No. 10 (the “Amendment No. 10”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on September 19, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 7, 2016, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 16, 2016, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 22, 2016, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 15, 2017, Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 30, 2017, Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 5, 2017, Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 10, 2017, Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 24, 2017 and Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D filed on September 14, 2017 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 10 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

The Class A Common Stock of the Issuer reported as beneficially owned in the Schedule 13D is directly held by EMC Corporation (“EMC”) or its wholly-owned subsidiaries EMC Equity Assets LLC (“EMC Sub”) and VMW Holdco LLC (“VMW Holdco”). EMC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell Technologies”). Dell Technologies is owned by investors including certain of the Reporting Persons, Michael S. Dell, a separate property trust for the benefit of Mr. Dell’s wife and funds affiliated with MSD Partners, L.P. This Amendment is being filed to report the following events in connection with the transactions disclosed in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D: (a) the sale, which closed on November 3, 2017, by EMC Sub of an additional 435,682 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock to the Issuer; and (b) a change in the number of shares and percentages of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Amendment and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

Items 5 (a), (b) and (c) are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) – (b) After completion of the transaction reported in Item 5(c), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 330,678,605 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, which includes (i) 30,678,605 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock held by EMC, VMW Holdco or EMC Sub and (ii) 300,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock held by EMC or VMW Holdco, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the election of EMC or VMW Holdco, as applicable, representing approximately 82.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock calculated on the basis of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 403,320,164 shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of October 31, 2017, and include 103,320,164 shares of Class A Common Stock and 300,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, as provided by the Issuer, reflect that the 435,682 shares of Class A Common Stock sold to the Issuer on November 3, 2017 in connection with the transactions reported herein are no longer outstanding following such transaction and assume conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. As further described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over all shares reported herein with EMC, VMW Holdco (to the extent of its direct holdings), EMC Sub (to the extent of its direct holdings), Dell Technologies and certain of its other subsidiaries, and Mr. Dell. Dell Technologies, EMC, VMW Holdco and Mr. Dell separately file Schedule 13D filings reporting their respective beneficial ownership of such securities.

(c) On November 3, 2017, EMC Sub sold an additional 435,682 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer at a price of approximately $109.31 per share, at a second closing pursuant to a Purchase Commitment Supplement, dated as of August 23, 2017 (“Supplement No. 2”), to the previously reported Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2017, by and among Dell Technologies, EMC Sub and the Issuer (as supplemented by Supplement No. 2, the “August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement”). As reported in Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D, under the August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement, EMC Sub sold 2,308,807 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer for a cash payment of $300 million at an initial price of $107.72 per share, less a discount of 3.5% from that per share price, in an initial closing that occurred on September 14, 2017. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold at the second closing was determined in accordance with the August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement by dividing (x) the $300 million aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased at both closings (all of which was paid in cash by the Issuer at the initial closing which occurred on September 14, 2017) by (y) a final price of approximately $113.27 per share based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during a specified reference period, less a discount of 3.5% from that volume-weighted average per share price, and subtracting from such number of shares the 2,308,807 shares delivered at the initial closing on September 14, 2017. EMC Sub has sold a total of 2,744,489 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer under the August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement at such final price of approximately $109.31 per share, including the shares sold at the initial closing. The terms of the August 2017 Stock Purchase Agreement are described in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 24, 2017. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2017, is filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, and a copy of Supplement No. 2 is filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D.

Except as set forth in this Amendment, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person listed in Annex A, have effected any transaction in Class A Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D on September 14, 2017.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:
